Every popular project management platform (GitHub Projects, Trello, Linear, Notion, Asana, Jira, ClickUp) supports colored labels / tags with a central palette. Hero's Task, Story, and Project structs all carry tags: Vec<String> — plain strings with no color, no management UI, no reuse across entities. Users can type any string, there is no autocomplete against existing tags, and the island views render tags as neutral pills with no visual differentiation.

Minimum viable:

Store a color alongside each tag (per-project palette).
Render tags as colored pills in list/board/card views.
"Manage tags" popover in each island: create / rename / color / delete, plus a picker showing all existing tags for autocomplete when editing a task/story/project.
Apply consistently across Tasks, Stories, Projects, and Kanban cards.
